Mac carving up the bird – it was so hot in the kitchen things were getting foggy

the 2013 Friendsgiving Feast!

we didn’t plan to match our outfits to our dishes, but it works!

This weekend was our annual Friendsgiving party. Friendsgiving is an epic annual pre-Thanksgiving party that brings all of our friends together to kick off the holiday season and grub on traditional Thanksgiving dishes. Hosted by our friends Mac & Rebecca for the fourth year in a row, more than twenty of us crowded around tables, squished onto couches, and huddled on the floor to enjoy an impressive array of homemade holiday dishes. In keeping with Friendsgiving tradition there was an incredible amount of food, drink, and laughter and the merriment lasted late into the evening.

Given the amount of food I traditional eat at Friendsgiving wearing high waisted flares was a ballsy move but in the end the snug denim kept me from overdoing it, though I seriously debated unbuttoning my pants to make room for a second helping of the brownie, cheesecake trifle my girl Allison brought.

I love boots. I’ve always loved boots and when it came to black knee high boots this pair checked all my boxes. They’re practical; without looking like it, versatile; I’m going to wear them all winter long, and classic; I’ll wear em to death. The fact that they’re tall, dark, and handsome doesn’t hurt either.

I’ve always been an avid reader but things started to get out of control when D bought me a Kindle Paperwhite for my birthday last year. I couldn’t stop reading… or shopping. Amazon’s got this thing called Whispernet, it instantly sends books to your Kindle, one click and you’re reading. It made it easy to […]

There are so many great things about Halloween; it’s during my favorite time of the year, you can get away with outrageous outfits, the discount candy on November 1, pumpkin carving, I could go on and on! Which is why I’ve rounded up the highlights, the best of the best, all of my favorite Halloween […]

I read Robin Cook’s Toxin when I was a freshman in high school; I was horrified. I gave up red meat for a while afterwards and started to really worry about food contamination, E. coli. in particular. This book scared me by showing me a side of the food industry and the sometimes lethal side […]

sunnies: charlotte russe, sweater: goodwill, boyfriend jeans: gap Looking at this outfit one might think I raided a preteen boy’s closet. Admittedly I found this sweater in the men’s section at Goodwill, I have great luck in the Men’s XS/S section. This sweater was one of my first finds, incredibly warm and my go to […]

sunnies: charlotte russe, poncho: target (similar), tee (not seen): gap, jeans: levi’s, mocs: lands’ end I have an affinity for ponchos, grandpa sweaters, oversized cardigans, basically if I could get away with it I’d go about my day wrapped in down comforter. I love to be cozy. So when we were flying out the door […]

I'm Caitlin, a redheaded bibliophile from the rocky Maine Coast. I have an embarrassing amount of shoes, love to travel, and treat my cat Gus like she's my baby. I write Wore Out; a life and style blog chronicling my adventures in Burlington, Vermont one outfit post at a time.

From vintage dresses and cowboy boots at the Burlington farmer's market to flannel and Vermont made wool socks on Camel's Hump, Wore Out is as much about my love affair with my adopted home state as it is about developing my style and sharing my inspirations.
